City Departments Decorate Trees For Contest, Give Them To Charities

December 02, 1989|The Morning Call

A tree decorated for the Rainbow Elves won the annual Christmas tree decorating contest in the City Hall complex for the second consecutive year.

Personnel in the Police Records-Juvenile department put handmade, stuffed red and green bunnies and baskets on the tree to win the judges approval. The tree will be donated to the group of volunteers who help needy children.

The Personnel Bureau's tree decorated with personal items was second in the judging. It will be given to the Allentown Rescue Mission.

The Finance Bureau's third-place tree covered with candy and toys will be presented to the Spina Bifida Association.

The trees will be on display adjacent to the lobby in City Hall for the next two weeks.
